Topic modeling made just simple enough

* Ted Underwood *

Keywords: topic model, LDA, latent Dirichlet allocation, MALLET

This blog article bridges the gap between topic modelling and its underlying mathematics (latent Dirichlet allocation).

The exposition shows the basics of probabilistic techniques, the formula with the so-called hyperparameter alpha and beta and some nice examples from 18th and 19th century English literature.
